Teacher roles in a IT supported world

Imagine our world as one big computer with hundreds of wires leading to thousands more computers and wires from them leading to millions more wires leading to you and me. That is our IT supported world. One massive world sitting on top of a giant computer. We rely upon it for everything we do from the smallest things like eating breakfast, watching the news, reading the paper,social activities, transport etc. Just about every second of our day Technology and Information influences our lives in some way. 

A teacher's role partly is one who by definition educates, facilitates, assists, advises, delivers, mentors and helps someone else. The teacher's role is to include all and every available resource to enhance the learning environment. Information Technology is a integral part of education and the effective communication of IT is a teacher's responsibility. IT is simply systems of information exchange. One of those systems is from a teacher to a student in which a teacher has a role of gathering, collaborating and assesing accurate, factual and appropriate material to facilitate an information exchange.
